If you're a US-based PC gamer and you've been holding off upgrading your rig, you might want to think again, as prices for graphics cards, motherboards, and even PC cases, are set to see a big bump in their prices. Depending on the item, the increase could be as much as 25%, which could make getting a new GPU very expensive.
The ASUS Vivobook S 15 will be one of the several notebooks shipping with the Snapdragon X Elite, delivering an incredible OLED panel with a crisp resolution and a decent build. An early specifications look of the machine revealed that it would feature 32GB LPDDR5X RAM, hinting that the memory would be soldered to the motherboard.
Qualcomm was considered one of Samsung’s top five revenue resources. However, the San Diego company has shifted most of its chip orders to TSMC, dropping out of the Korean giant’s list of major contributors. These turn of events may explain why Samsung is eager to commence mass production of its second-generation 3nm GAA process in the second half of 2024, likely to impress Qualcomm and bring it back to the table.
Apple has long been cozy with TSMC, the manufacturer of the chips that end up in ever-popular iPhone, iPad and Mac products. When you've got as much cash on hand as Apple does, it puts it in a favorable position to negotiate deals with the Taiwan-based chipmaker. Now it is reportedly seeking to lock in 100% of TSMC's bleeding edge 2nm production capacity, giving it a competitive advantage when products eventually make their way to the market.
NVIDIA's Blackwell GB200 AI servers are anticipated to see major traction, reaching 2 million units shipped in 2025 & utilizing new packaging tech.
The Kirin 9000S launch last year, followed by the Kirin 9010 that powers Huawei’s newest Pura 70 series, has helped the company reach a new high as far as smartphone chipset shipments and revenue go. The latest data reveals that the former Chinese giant’s HiSilicon division, which is responsible for mass producing Kirin SoCs, shipped 8 million units in the first quarter of 2024 and generated $6 billion in revenue. However, compared to the competition, Huawei has a long road ahead of it as it slowly takes back its lost market share.

TSMC is the world's largest chipmaker, and it produces a massive percentage of the world's advanced computer chips—by some estimates over the past few years, even around 90%. What happens if something were to happen in that part of the world to disturb this chipmaking ability? It'd be catastrophic, of course, but TSMC and its main machine supplier, Dutch company ASML, say the machines wouldn't fall into hostile hands.
